1986 Mercedes-Benz 190 review from Philippines
"If you find one buy it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to install new sparks and spark plug cables.
New fuel, oil, air filters.
New valve cover gaskets.
General comments?
After bringing the car to Seyer repair shop. I can now rev to the 8000rpm mark.
The car is much much quicker.
Without the Cos-worth head this car will definitely fall behind the Hondas.
Air-con is very good.
The wood and leather trims are in perfect condition.
